Really. For $350 I expected more. Oops. I mean $35. Oh nevermind...

Roku has a competing offering for less than $50 that can handle local video.

Google's hardware was known to be capable of handling this. For them to introduce artificial barriers to prevent it is criminal.

Currently all of science and medicine consider OOB and religious experiences to be hallucinations and that all perception and thought exist in the brain exclusively. If repeatable experiments prove this false, it would open the floodgates.

Just because the person perceive's an OOB experience; doesn't mean their thought ever really left their body.

There may be multiple kinds of OOB experiences, not all the same in nature.

I wouldn't get my hopes up about remote viewing or speaking to the presence or absence of objects that the eyes of the person's body could not physically see.

What happens when someone else uses your real name maliciously to intentionally associate with other accounts under names of people known to be criminals or bad credit risks, OR when your real name is very common, so there are are 50 facebook accounts with your same name?

So here's an informal poll for readers: Just what, exactly, does using all caps to fill out a form indicate?

That you are statistically more likely to default on the loan. They don't care about cause and effect. If someone showed that people with names beginning with T were 17% more likely to repay the loan than people with names beginning with F, and the difference was statistically relevant, then they'd give better rates to the T's than the F's.

When I was a young kid, and I first heard "literally", I presumed it was something to do with "literature", stuff like Harper Lee or Shakespeare - i.e *fiction*. It must have taken years before I actually checked its dictionary meaning (its literal meaning, one might say), and had quite a shock. Now, every time I see someone "misuse" the word, I initially think "no it wasn't, you're exaggerating ", and then think back and mellow to a "well, you might imagine a diarist (or journalist) writing that" stance, and let it pass. Language changes; this isn't the grossest perversion of the language that I've seen.

Have some respect, that's your government you're insulting! http://geke.us/GS.html

(OT - And incidentally, in case anyone interprets my .sig as being anti-Obama, I first set it while Bush was in power, and just never got round to changing it. For obvious reasons.)

Because your code is more fragile to misrendering or mistransmission by Slashdot, and MS Exchange, and yahoogroups, and google groups, and ...

The answer to your question was in your parent post, did you not see it?

Except anti-psychotics. And sulfa drugs. And anti-biotics.

Oh, and pain killers. Sometimes they are more than just a luxury. Especially in surgery.

I'm sure the powerful are grateful for your apologetic.

Google are in a unique, panopticon position.

Fuck ~= vittu, literally cunt, from Swedish fitta

Perkele's harder to translate into English, being the name of an pagan god. So you'd probably want it to be something that offends Church of England sensibilities through blasphemy. I can't think of anything apart from "Hell!" that fits that description at the moment, but that's not really any good as the Finns have "Helvetti" for precisely that meaning. I'm not sure how much the Finns distinguish "perkele" from "saatana" = "satan". It's worth asking a Finn.

...but I think the biggest problem with the Nook and Barnes & Nobel going forward is not the Nook hardware (widely acclaimed, see above) or the selection of books, (especially considering that you're not limited to B&N content) or even the Android platform options and marketplace options that B&N has elected through the years.

The problem that the Nook has at this time, and going forward is the Investment that Microsoft made in B&N. As that is the factor that has essentially destroyed Nokia as a brand, I can't see anyone thinking that it's going to help B&N over the long term.

Plenty of tech firms would be satisfied with maths and physics.

I'm arming my Jag with an RPG pod.

What? He's already used up all the words in the English language, he's had to resort to Finnish to fill the gaps already: http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/13/132
